Is the Yellow Lion Spirit really a kind youkai? If he is a kind monster, why did Sun Wukong beat him to death?
Huang Shijing is the demon king of Hukou Cave in Leopard Head Mountain, Yuhua Prefecture, his cultivation is average, and his mana is mediocre, but he has a grandfather with high mana, named Jiuling Yuan Sheng, and his cultivation has reached the realm of transcendent sainthood. Huang Shijing clashed with the three brothers for stealing the weapons of the three brothers, and was later beaten to death by Sun Wukong.
But many people think that the yellow lion spirit was killed very unjustly, because he is not a bad monster, but a rare good demon on the way to learn the scriptures.
Why is the Yellow Lion Spirit a kind monster? Because the yellow lion spirit does not harm one side like other monsters, he pays for everything, which is no different from ordinary people. At the beginning, he was going to hold a nail rake banquet and let the little demons go to the market to purchase pork and mutton and other ingredients, so he gave the two little demons twenty taels of silver.
The two little demons took the money, rushed to the market happily along the way, and discussed: "We also have some luck." Take these twenty taels of silver to buy pigs and sheep, and now when you come to the front market, eat a few pots of wine first, open a flower tent with things, drop him two or three taels of silver, and buy a cotton coat to survive the cold, but isn't it good? ”
After purchasing the ingredients needed for the nail rake banquet with twenty taels of silver, he can also "drop two or three taels of silver and buy a piece of cotton clothes to survive the cold", which shows that the yellow lion essence not only spends money on shopping, but also pays according to the market price, and never sells at a low price.
But in fact, it's normal for monsters to spend money in Journey to the West. For example, the jade-faced princess, "there are millions of furniture", what does a monster want so much money for? Later, she "visited the Bull Demon King, who had great powers, and was willing to accompany the family furniture and recruit a husband", why did the Bull Demon King covet the family property of the jade-faced princess, and was willing to do the inverted door? Isn't it because youkai also cost money?
Another example is Sun Wukong, when he was a demon in Huaguo Mountain, he wanted to get a batch of weapons to arm the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, and the monkeys told him: "Our mountain, to the east, has 200 miles of water, and that carriage is the border of Aolai, and there must be gold, silver, copper, iron and other craftsmen." If the king goes there, he will either buy or build some weapons, teach us to act, and protect the mountain field, which is the so-called long-term opportunity for Baotai. "It can be seen that the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain also need to spend money.
Therefore, just because the yellow lion spirit spends money to buy things in the market, you can't think that he is a kind monster.
The mortals in the Journey to the West world are not as vulnerable as people think, and there are still masters among the mortals, including monks with high mana, Taoist priests, demon hunters, and the blessings of various gods.
In fact, although the Yellow Lion Spirit is not as bad as other monsters, he was beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick, and he was not wronged at all.
He stole the weapons of the three brothers who had learned from the scriptures. These three weapons are priceless treasures, and the yellow lion spirit is equivalent to stealing a huge amount of wealth, however, instead of being ashamed and hiding it, he is proud of it, and opens a nail rake meeting with great fanfare, which shows the low moral quality of this monster and the arrogance of the demon.
After the three brothers found out that the weapon was stolen by him, they killed the Hukou Cave, recaptured the weapon, and smashed the cave, but let the yellow lion spirit take advantage of the chaos to escape.
However, with Sun Wukong's strength, if he really wants to kill the Yellow Lion Spirit, does the Yellow Lion Spirit have a chance to escape from the chaos? It can be seen that Sun Wukong never thought about killing the yellow lion spirit at the beginning.
But the yellow lion knew that he was at fault first, and he did not repent after being smashed into the cave, and ran to the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave and asked the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng to avenge him. As a result, in the battle of Yuhua City, he was beaten to death by the unbearable Sun Wukong. Isn't that self-inflicted? What do you think?
